2007 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 3.0L Diesel · KV07 DSR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on five consecutive clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 17 February 2026 at 131,677 miles resulted in no defects recorded, maintaining a trend of perfect scores dating back to March 2022. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets the minimum safety and environmental requirements without immediate mechanical failures or recurring structural faults. The mileage pattern indicates exceptionally low usage for a nineteen-year-old S-Class. Averaging approximately 6,930 miles per year, the car has covered significantly less ground than the national average. The data shows a notable stagnation between March 2024 and March 2025, where the vehicle covered only 45 miles (from 131,542 to 131,587). While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion due to lack of use. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on the common failure points of this generation of Mercedes-Benz. A buyer should scrutinise the air suspension system for sagging or leaking bellows, as these components fail due to age regardless of mileage. Given the low usage, check the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers which result from inactivity. Additionally, an inspection of the chassis for corrosion around subframes and mounting points is essential to ensure the structural integrity of the vehicle has not been compromised over its two decades of life.
